Judge denies Stormy Daniels request to restart case against Trump, Cohen

(Reuters) - A federal judge in Los Angeles has rejected a request by the adult film actress Stormy Daniels to restart her lawsuit there against U.S. President Donald Trump and his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen. In an order dated Tuesday, U.S. District Judge James Otero said the amount of media attention in the case was not a sufficient reason to reconsider the 90-day stay he had imposed in April. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is suing to void a non-disclosure agreement under which Cohen paid her $130,000 not to discuss her alleged relationship with Trump in 2006 and 2007.

Property crisis looms due to sea level rise, experts warn  

Along Florida's sun-splashed shorelines, home prices are on the rise, developers are busy building new complexes, and listings just blocks from the beach describe homes that are "not in a flood zone," meaning no flood insurance is required. A reality check may come sooner than many may think, according to a report out Monday by the Union of Concerned Scientists, which finds as many as 64,000 coastal residences worth $26 billion in Florida are at risk of chronic flooding in the next 30 years, the life of a typical mortgage. Across the United States, 311,000 coastal homes with a collective market value of about $120 billion in today's dollars are at risk of chronic flooding by 2045, it said.

Children separated from parents at US border held in cages in Texas warehouse

Inside an old warehouse in South Texas, hundreds of children wait in a series of cages created by metal fencing. One cage had 20 children inside. Scattered about are bottles of water, bags of crisps and large foil sheets intended to serve as blankets. One teenager told an advocate who visited that she was helping care for a young child she didn't know because the child's aunt was somewhere else in the facility. She said she had to show others in her cell how to change the girl's diaper. The US Border Patrol on Sunday allowed reporters to briefly visit the facility where it holds families arrested at the southern US border, responding to new criticism and protests over the...

Here's How to Stop North Korea from Cheating on Denuclearization

Now that North Korea has agreed at the Singapore summit to work towards denuclearization certain elements will need to be in any nuclear deal for the agreement to be effective. Despite North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's more recent suggestions that he is open to denuclearizing if the United States were to provide security guarantees for the regime, North Korea has a significantly longer history of arguing that it would never do so.

Vladimir Putin accused of using World Cup to bury bad news after raising pension age on opening night

Vladimir Putin's government has been criticised for using the World Cup to bury bad news after it announced a rise in the pension age in the wake of Russia's first victory of the tournament.  The announcement, which came immediately after Russia's 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia on Thursday evening, is likely to prove widely unpopular among the Russian public, who opinion polls show are deeply opposed to adjustments to the welfare state.  Dmitry Medvedev, the prime minister, said the proposed adjustments to the law would see the pension age for men raised from 60 to 65 and for women from 55 to 63.  There will also be an two percent increase on VAT from 18 to 20 percent.  Alexei Kudrin, a...

Turkey will drain 'terror swamp' in Iraq's Qandil, Erdogan says

Turkey will drain the "terror swamp" in northern Iraq's Qandil region, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday, a day after the military said it hit more than a dozen Kurdish militant targets in air strikes. Turkey's army has ramped up operations in northern Iraq, with the aim of destroying Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) bases in the Qandil mountains, where high-ranking members of the militant group are thought to be located.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte come out to watch Duke compete in polo tournament

Watching one's father play polo is not the most exciting activity for most under-fives, but the Duke of Cambridge's eldest children found plenty of ways to beat the boredom on a sun-soaked family day out yesterday. While the Duke competed in a tournament at the Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire, Prince George and Princess Charlotte slipped off their shoes and chased each other around the edges of the field. Charlotte, aged three, showed off her roly-poly technique by tumbling on the grass, while George, who will be five next month, mimicked his father by hitting balls with a miniature polo mallet. George is reportedly left-handed, like his father, but polo players are only allowed to...

A petition was launched last month by centrist Republicans who say they are tired of inaction on immigration in the Republican-controlled Congress. The issue has bitterly divided Republicans, but nearly all Democrats favor holding the debate and had signed the petition as of late last month.

A US admiral who is expected to become Washington's next ambassador to South Korea warned that China's "dream of hegemony" was the greatest threat to America in Asia. Admiral Harry Harris said that while North Korea was the most urgent concern, China's growing power in Asia would provide the greatest challenge to the United States. "North Korea remains our most imminent threat and a nuclear-capable North Korea with missiles that can reach the United States is unacceptable," he said during a ceremony in Hawaii where he handed over leadership of the US regional command. However he added: "China remains our biggest long-term challenge. Without focused...

Nissan unveils Leaf cabriolet
Nissan unveils Leaf cabriolet

Nissan has produced a convertible version of the world's best-selling all-electric car, although it's a one-off creation designed to celebrate the milestone of 100,000 sales of the Leaf in its native Japan. If asked what could be done to make the Nissan Leaf EV more attractive to the mass market, it's probably fair to say most people would say longer battery life and not many would come up with the idea of making it a convertible. From the image released by Nissan of the convertible Leaf it's hard to tell if the roof folds into the trunk or if it's been removed completely.

France offers citizenship to Malian immigrant who scaled building to save child

France on Monday offered citizenship to an illegal immigrant from Mali who scaled the facade of a Paris apartment block to save a boy who was about to fall from a fourth-floor balcony, President Emmanuel Macron said. Video shows Mamoudou Gassama, 22, risking his life on Sunday as he climbed up the balconies to rescue the four-year-old who is clinging to a railing and glancing at the ground below, while horrified onlookers watched. The video went viral and Gassama, who has been nicknamed "Spider-Man" for reaching the boy in the nick of time, was swiftly granted a meeting at the Elysee Palace.

France's 'Spiderman' joins fire brigade as citizenship awaits

Mamoudou Gassama, the 22-year-old Malian "Spiderman" feted for saving a child hanging from a balcony, took his first step toward French citizenship Tuesday and joined the fire brigade as accolades continued to pour in over his daring rescue. Video footage of Gassama scaling four storeys of the building with his bare hands has catapulted the young man to global fame, and earned him the promise of citizenship from President Emmanuel Macron. Wearing white sweatpants and a black cap, the hero of a rescue video viewed by millions of people appeared slightly overwhelmed by the media furore as he filed his application for legal residency in the Paris suburb of Bobigny.

Greece and Macedonia have edged closer in their efforts to resolve a decades-old dispute over the former Yugoslav republic's name, with their foreign ministers drafting documents which could pave the way for a settlement. Greece has long opposed Macedonia's right to call itself that, saying it amounts to a territorial claim on a northern Greek region of the same name. The dispute has blocked Macedonia's bid to join NATO and the European Union.

US warships sail past islands claimed by China in 'freedom of navigation' exercise

Two US Navy warships sailed near  islands claimed by China on Sunday in a bid to challenge Chinese efforts to limit freedom of navigation in the area,  US officials said.  In a move likely to anger Beijing, the Higgins, a guided-missile destroyer, and the Antietam, a guided-missile cruiser, came within 12 nautical miles of the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.  The ships carried out maneuvering operations near Tree, Lincoln, Triton and Woody islands in the Paracels, one of the officials said. The archipelago is among a string of islets, reefs and shoals over which China has territorial disputes with its neighbours, and the operation was the latest attempt to counter what Washington...

Iran sanctions shadow falls on smaller German banks

Germany's biggest lenders have shied away from business with Iran after past penalties for breaching US sanctions, but smaller banks have leapt on opportunities afforded by the nuclear deal rejected by Donald Trump. There are just months to go until a November deadline issued by Washington after the US president abandoned a hard-fought agreement that loosened business restrictions on the Islamic Republic in exchange for Tehran giving up its pursuit of nuclear weapons. "We will continue to serve our clients," for now, said Patrizia Melfi, a director at the "international competence centre" (KCI) founded by six cooperative savings banks in the small town of Tuttlingen in southwest Germany.

Beirut will need to play its cards right forming a government amid tightening US sanctions on Hizbollah

The United States is trying to curb the increasing Iranian influence in the Middle East and is taking its fight to Lebanon through Tehran's main proxy - Hizbollah. As part of wider US strategy, the recent sanctions imposed on Iran and its non-state actors will give Lebanese officials a major headache in forming a new government. The US has been imposing sanctions on the militant group for decades. However, a new wave last week appears to be more serious about targeting the group's top leadership as well as businessmen and companies that Washington says are funding the group that has sent troops to Syria to bolster Bashar al-Assad's regime. And they come weeks after US President...
